NurseryRx Hoya Carnosa Jade

No, you do not need to repot it right away. The plant arrives in a biodegradable nursery pot with established roots, so it is best to let it acclimate to your home's light and humidity levels for a few weeks before moving it to a new container.

Bright, indirect light means the plant should be placed near a window where it can see the sky, but direct sun rays do not touch the leaves. A spot a few feet back from a south or west-facing window, or directly in an east-facing window, is usually perfect.

Sphagnum moss is excellent for transit and initial root health, but it holds moisture differently than standard potting soil. Once you decide to repot, you can transition it to a well-draining indoor potting mix designed for aroids or succulents to better manage long-term watering.

Hoyas are semi-succulent and prefer to dry out between waterings. Wait until the top inch or two of the growing medium feels dry to the touch before watering thoroughly, ensuring any excess water drains away completely.

The Hoya Carnosa is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, it is always best practice to keep all houseplants out of reach of curious pets to prevent accidental ingestion or damage to the plant.
